On the heels of Black Pride in Charlotte, Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour [RWT] made a stop at the newly renovated Bank of America Panthers Stadium. Once seated, we were serenaded with Dangerously in Love.
Broken up into six segments, the initial component showcased the Queen’s immense vocal capabilities. As soon as the siren’s medley of ballads came to a halt, one act followed the next like a well-oiled machine. The arena exploded with a tremendous ROAR when Blue Ivy emerged centerstage with her left arm and fist to the sky. My Power has been a fan favorite from Queen Bey’s The Lion King: The Gift album. However, it’s become even more iconic with TikTok worthy choreography performed by the Grammy Award-winning pop princess, her first born Blue. It was a tearful moment for many of us who had never witnessed an African American mother place their daughter on such a huge pedestal (74,500 seats to be exact). Beyoncé visually tackles a tough conundrum by breaking generational curses, particularly the strained relationship between mother and daughter in black culture.
Other highlights included the singer’s Energy challenge where the entire arena went mute; Queen Bey on top of a tank with hydraulics; and a Ballroom tribute for the Black gay vogue scene with “10,10,10 across the boards.”
In addition to the Megastar’s inaugural stop, her BeyGood foundation held a luncheon earlier that honored several small businesses.
Beyoncé’s RWT was a celebration for marginalized communities that are often overlooked by both mainstream media and society. Through her unapologetic enunciation of disadvantaged groups in a positive light, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter has economically and socially empowered a component of global citizens that was once ignored.
Singer Yaisel La Melodía (LM) performs alongside Blessed and NLE Choppa under the musical production of Hansel.
The audiovisual of the song that has positioned itself among the first places of the most listened to songs on the urban music charts, was directed by Rodríguez Films, who represents in it the culture of the Dominican neighborhood, taking place in the Gualey neighborhood. , Santo Domingo.
The collaboration began via communicating on IG, where they expressed interest in sharing their talents in a song, which later became a reality thanks to the efforts of 2Big Music and Equity Distribution.
Yaisel LM continues to take leaps and bounds in urban music, with the extension of her discography loaded with infectious songs to the rhythm of dembow, which has allowed her to accumulate a large legion of followers.
The young artist’s agenda is to travel to New York to be part of the El Alfa concert, which will be held at Madison Square Garden. Subsequently, he will complete a half tour in said city in the United States, and then travel to Colombia to fulfill commitments.

Veeze, the enigmatic Detroit rapper, has just announced the upcoming deluxe version of his critically acclaimed debut album Ganger – out this Friday, October 13th. Veeze dropped the highly-anticipated Ganger at the end of June, backed by one of the biggest rap songs of the year in “GOMD” (37M+ Streams), and its remix with Lil Uzi Vert. Serving as only Veeze’s second full-length release – after 2019’s Navy Wavy, Ganger was quickly met with critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, and others. Highlighted by other standout tracks like “Not a Drill” (16M+ Streams) and “Safe 2”, Ganger is a definitive statement from Veeze that he’s looking to expand upon with the upcoming deluxe version that features five new songs and a production credit from Surf Gang’s Evilgiane.
The forthcoming Ganger Tour kicks off on today with sold-out dates in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit, and more, with Anycia joining him as an opener. As an accumulation of Veeze’s artistic evolution across its original 21 songs with features from Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, LUCKI, Babyface Ray, and Icewear Vezzo, Ganger finds Veeze honing in on his syrupy flows and witty lyricism over an eclectic batch of beats. On the five additional tracks set to arrive on the deluxe version this Friday, October 13th, Veeze is taking full advantage of his momentum by continuing to deliver his signature sludgy flows and animated bar work, dropping niche sports and pop culture references with ease.
Ever since first breaking out on the scene with his viral 2020 single, “Law N Order” (23M+ Streams), Veeze has been meticulously calculated with his subsequent moves – he independently made his official debut on the Billboard Hot 100 last year and served as a key player in Lil Yachty’s mainstream introduction to the Detroit scene for his Michigan Boy Boat album, appearing on two of its songs. Although he has a scarce solo catalog, Veeze has been co-signed and mentored by the likes of Drake, Future, Lil Baby & even James Harden – a testament to his quality control and the faith that heavy hitters have in his craft. After Rolling Stone hailed him as one of ‘11 Rappers Set To Make It Big in 2023’ to kick off the year, Veeze has ensured that he lives up to this title – first by dropping one of the biggest rap songs of the year thus far in “GOMD” and its remix with Lil Uzi Vert, then with his official debut album – the critically-acclaimed Ganger.

360® captured Mora’s adolescence and future aspirations through a photoshoot at New York Fashion Week.
Naima Mora [NM], the winner of Tyra Banks‘ America’s Next Top Model [ANTM] Cycle 4, is one of Detroit’s most resilient natives. Their narrative is based on a multi-generational lineage of artisans, providing a beacon of light to depleted spirits during these turbulent times. Both NM’s parents were jazz cats; and both grandparents were globally praised craftspeople. Her grandfather, Francisco ‘Pancho’ Mora, was a Mexican muralist; and her grandmother, Elizabeth Catlett, was an African American sculptor.
Within the Motor City limits, they grew up on 6 Mile and Schaefer, “I’m a little hood under all of this glitz and glam,” Mora states. At times, whenever Ford Town became dangerously violent, they turned to graffiti and hung with an eclectic underground peer group. From there, the flock further introduced them to another subculture of music and dance, techno and b-boy. NM frequented the infamous St. Andrew’s Hall, a performance venue where recognizeable bands played like R.E.M. and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In its basement, The Shelter became an iconic backdrop for battle rap legend Eminem. Moreover, as a teenager, they met Carl Craig, the founder of Movement Music Festival, another person who ushered them into an even deeper artisanal vibration of the city. “There’s a lot of programs that really cater to young people and instill confidence. At a weekend workshop, “Brianna R. Furnish of the Ballet Renaissance gave me a scholarship… she would teach me in the evenings at Wayne State University… [in exchange] on the weekends, I would teach the ‘lil babies [or toddlers].”
Upon graduation from Cass Technical High School, Mora relocated to NYC. They immediately auditioned and were accepted into the Dance Theatre of Harlem. When questioned, if they’re ever intimidated or felt threatened due to their outer appearances, NM replied, “That is a conversation of colorism that happens in any community of brown folks… Colorism is the effect of slavery… I was ‘light-skin’ with ‘good hair’ and experienced a lot of hate because of it. My father is Mexican and black. And, my mother is black and Irish and of indigenous descent, so I came out looking like this.”
Regardless, Mora continues and comes to a realization that they’ve ultimately learned to love the skin that they are in.
“I’m now signed with State [Model] Management,” she exhales.” Soon after, NM was booked on a Chrysler [Stellantis] campaign back in their own stomping grounds. With excitement, they spoke highly of the gastronomy discovered in The D. Nevertheless, Mora’s identical twin and proficient photographer, Nia, was conducive to their success: by finding your light, knowing your best angles while practicing poses; and thus making themselves become more confident. In fact, it was at the Coffee Shop, where she worked as a hostess, that reality TV producers got wind of her exotic features. The management was notorious for discovering beautiful talent and/or hiring top-level agency new faces.
“I remember Laverne Cox was working there with me at the time, and we both auditioned for Top Model [ANTM]. Prior to Top Model, I wasn’t groomed or polished. The casting directors from Top Model clearly saw something in me, and Tyra really loved my look… They had me on the show, and the rest is history.”
Although ANTM contestants were under a strict 24-hour surveilance, their image was handled with kid gloves, largely attributed to their positive on-air persona coupled with them eventually being named winner. After the show wrapped, Mora was grateful how the network portrayed them in each and every episode leading up to the finale. Compared to what actually transpired while filming, being captured chain smoking cigarettes.
Fast-forward, Mora acknowledges that their Detroit upbringing, alongside the exposure to a rigorous shoot schedule, is a reality-based competition that prepared them for a pivot into acting.
This was quite evident when they were effortlessly cast in a scripted show and played opposite Hollywood A-Lister, Morris Chestnut (Boyz n the Hood, The Best Man). In fact, Mora recalls having their ‘debut’ while subsequently experiencing an epiphany while speaking to, “All I have to do is show up!”
At 39, Mora’s racial ambiguity, combined with sophisticated androgeny, has placed them in a league of their own.
